Get to know Moira
As the Safeguarding & Welfare Adviser, I offer guidance, resources and support to clubs, NGBs, Leisure providers, partners and individuals to help strengthen safeguarding practices. I can deliver training or connect organisations with the right support to meet their development needs.
What do Together Active’s values mean to you and your role?
Our values align well with my role as my role is all about working collaboratively with organisations to help them find creative solutions to build safe and welcoming environments where everyone is able to feel safe to participate in sport and physical activity.
What does Together Active’s mission mean to you?
As part of the National SWO Network I can draw upon expertise from colleagues across the country to help support our mission to drive out inactivity in Stoke and Staffordshire. For me, making spaces feel safer for everyone is key to this mission and at the heart of my role.
What does inclusion and access in physical activity mean to you?
There are many ways sport and physical activity can unintentionally make people feel excluded. Barriers may be financial, physical, social, or psychological, and organisations are often unaware of both their impact and how to address them. It’s our responsibility to support organisations across our region to better understand themselves, their challenges, and the communities they serve.
